Conjugation depends on the individual pronoun, not on the grammatical structure. English isn’t Latin. A lot of people complained about singular they/them because of the conjugation, but we moved past that misunderstanding a decade ago.
If conjugation depends on the individual pronoun, the pronoun you used was third person since that’s the conjugation you used. They/them is also third person and singular and plural are conjugated the same, so the comparison doesn’t apply.
To be clear, please use any and all pronouns you’re comfortable with. But don’t write a third person sentence and insist it’s first person.
Conjugation doesn’t depend on the grammatical structure. Not directly, and not through the pronoun. Drag will prove it: they/them and you/you use the same conjugation, but are in different persons. You don’t think “they” is a second person pronoun, do you?
Conjugation very much builds grammatical structure and is not independent from it. But that’s not what I said. As you said, conjugation depends (among others) on the pronoun. You said you were using a first person pronoun but then used a third person verb. This does not add up. You can either say “drag am always punctual” to make a first person sentence or “drag is always punctual” to make a third person sentence.
See, that’s the problem for drag, because if drag uses first person verbs then drag will sound silly but if drag uses third person verbs then drag will sound like drag is talking in third person, which will also sound silly.
Cool, someone playing Freud over a single comment.
harmless way drag refers to dragself
Fucking lol @ someone either trolling or dumb enough to fall for the trolling.
makes you immediately daydream about violence?
Pretty obvious my point was that this is the shit that bullies get erect about. I would never ever willingly talk to someone so offputting, let alone be violent toward them.
Yeah, there was a big boss we all answered to. He just trusted us to manage ourselves instead of dedicating any employees to management. We had HR and Payroll, but they didn’t tell us what to do.
Drag is lead to understand Valve uses a similar structure.
If it’s the employees job to manage themselves, then they should all be promoted to manager.
Drag isn’t joking. Drag has worked at a company where things were done like that. It wasn’t perfect but it was better than the American model.
I appreciate the bit where you talk in third person, but I feel like you could do something better
Drag doesn’t talk in third person. Drag uses drag/dragself person independent pronouns.
“doesn’t” and “uses” are third person.

This is an incredibly stupid social experiment
Nah, but your urge to police it is interesting
Are they policing it? I haven’t seen a single unarmed person get shot yet.
Haha but also yes still cop-in-head behaviour
Question 4 drag
If drag had access to BoringNormie Pills, would drag take them?
(Assume they would permanently or temporarily reset identity to a highly common one)

That’s a lot of copium you got there.
You seem clueless
Sounds kinda like a co-op, is there a difference?

Drag doesn’t really fit you. Let’s try something else. How about…Coco?! Yeah you seem like a Coco. Anyone else agree?
Sure isn’t a Chanel
